17th Oct Flea @ Scape

My sister and I set up a booth yesterday at Scape for their Sunday Parade flea market. It was a success! We made a humble profit from selling some clothes, accessories... Most importantly, I sold a set of coasters and a pouch! Yay! It made me so very happy to see people interested in my works, and actually bought it without bargaining the price.

I can't wait for next week!

Cooking up something new!

I've been experimenting on the perfect size pouch for cosmetics! A friend recently placed a rather big order for a pouch that's bigger than what I have been doing, for her girlfriends tocarry their make-up around. I think it's great, because I could use one too :)

For everything that I make, I have this standard template to cut out the fabrics, so that every piece I make is as similar as possible. Some crafters use freezer paper, some use paper, some use cardboard pieces. I prefer using any card-like material I can get my hands on. Mailers, thin cardboard boxes, and in this case - cereal box. Reuse, friends!

I can't wait to share more photos when I'm done!

On another note, look at those gorgeous fabrics that I have :) I've always told myself that I have TOO MUCH fabrics. But honestly, you can NEVER have enough. They make me happy!

Oh I've just completed an order for 2 sets of the Stitched Heart coasters for an old friend - whom I haven't seen in forever, but soooo nice of her to show support to my work!

Let's get organized!

Hi Guys!

I just got back from Bangkok, and after a fitful sleep last night, I woke this morning, all ready and inspired to sew, BUT! My room was (and still is...) so very very messy! So I put on some music (Boyce Avenue, by the way!) and started organizing all my stuff.

Then when I was tidying up the rolls and rolls of ribbons - yet again for the hundredth time - I remembered coming across online, something really simple and cool method of organizing them, so I grabbed an empty box (I love keeping boxes. Reuse them, don't throw!) and started vandalizing it :-P

Isn't this so much neater and more fun too?

Okay back to tidying up my messy room!

Busy Bee taking a little break!

I've just finished 1 bulk order! Just to clarify, when I say bulk order, it is 5 items and above :)

As a little promotion to celebrate the official start of my web business, I'm giving away free coasters!!!

Check this out:

When you order 5 and above of the Zippered Pouch, you get 1 of these babies for FREE! I personally like this coaster very much :)

And this is the completed order! *Happy!*

Busy!!!

I'm really lucky to have friends who show so much support to my works so far. I've got 2 big orders, x'mas gifts. they're so nice to tell me to take my time! But of course, I want to finish them as soon as I can so that I can receive more orders (hopefully!)

So right now, my room is in this huge mess. It's like a huge ball of fabric just exploded and I have scraps everywhere!

It's pretty late, I should finally sleep! Sew on tomorrow!

Love, n

Reuse your bread-clips!

I've seen this on a website long ago, and have been using this method ever since. It's so easy, so I thought I should share!

You know those little clips with dates stamped on them? Use them to tag your cables! Chargers, Lights, Sewing Machines, Computers, Printers, TV, DVD Player, Router, etc... See? Confused already? That's why you should do this!

It's free, easy and good for the environment too!
